Brabham built a fan car for F1 in 1978.

And then the FIA banned it.

My Z06 feels like driving a dump truck when doing triple digits. Suspension squats and steering gets very stiff. I don't think the word downforce is a good descriptor of the situation however. I would say it's more along the lines of gravity modulation.
